The Chevrolet Cameo was introduced as part of Chevrolet's 'Task Force' series of trucks in 1955, designed to appeal to a different market segment than the standard work-oriented trucks of the time. Its key feature was an advanced and sleek design with fiberglass rear fenders that resembled the rear fenders of contemporary Chevrolet passenger cars, along with a wraparound windshield, chrome accents, and a two-tone paint scheme that gave it a more upscale and stylish appearance. This is the introduction year for the Cameo Pickup " 1 of just 5,220 built in 1955. Retaining much of its original appearance, this example has been tastefully transformed into a modern-day Street Rod. Professionally painted and fitted with a comfortable two-tone leather interior, it makes quite the statement wherever it is driven. Under the hood is a 350 cubic-inch Chevrolet LT1 fuel-injected V-8 engine backed by a 700R automatic transmission. A Mustang II front suspension, power disc brakes, five-spoke wheels with newer radial tires, and Vintage Air A/C and heat round out the upgrades. Over the years, the 1955 Chevrolet Cameo Pickup has become a sought-after collectible " its unique design, limited production numbers, and custom components make the desirability go through the roof.
